Fenimore Art Museum is thrilled to be bringing Leslie McCurdy's internationally acclaimed solo performance about the life of Harriet Tubman to Fenimore for ONE NIGHT ONLY on September 27 at 7PM. Tickets are on sale now! There are many plays about Harriet Tubman, but none share her entire life story like a visit with The Spirit of Harriet Tubman. Leslie McCurdy invokes the “spirit” of Harriet Tubman as she portrays the life of the famous Underground Railroad conductor, recreating stories familiar and some rarely told, using words said to have been Harriet Tubman's own. Through it all we learn of the faith and conviction that drove Harriet Tubman to follow her dreams; the spirit of the past connecting with the present, inspiring her charges to have the courage to do the same in envisioning their future. This performance will be followed by a Q&A with Leslie McCurdy.
For over 28 years Leslie has captivated audiences across Canada, The United States and has even played in London England! The Spirit of Harriet Tubman was presented at the 2011 National Black Theatre Festival in Winston-Salem North Carolina, 2012 DC Black Theatre Festival Living Legacy Series, Washington DC, the Paul Robeson Art Is A Weapon Solo Play Festival, London England in 2013, as well as at various festivals, Performing Arts Centers, schools and other venues with tens of thousands of audience members being thrilled with Leslie McCurdy's performance.
Tickets are $15 for general admission, and $12 for Youth (aged 12 and under). Seating is strictly limited, so be sure to reserve your seat now!
This performance is presented with the generous support of the Community Foundation of Otsego County; the Mary S. Mulligan Charitable Trust, Bank of America, N.A., Trustee; Mr. Tom Morgan and Ms. Erna J. Morgan McReynolds; and Dr. Jeffrey Pressman and Dr. Nancy Kollisch.
